Deputies investigate I-65 shooting

Butler County sheriff's investigators and Alabama Bureau of Investigations agents combed the roadsides early Tuesday after an apparent shooting during a robbery at the rest area along Interstate 65 near Greenville.

Butler County Sheriff Kenny Harden said one person was injured in the shooting, and his office was sent to the scene after a 911 call at about 3 a.m. today.

No other information was available regarding the incident, but Alabama Department of Transportation spokeswoman Linda Crockett said all of the state's 19 rest areas and 18 welcome centers have privately contracted armed security guards from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. daily.
